Sorry, but "I don't think people like you should have any rights and I would prefer it if you didn't even exist. Debate me." is not a call for a calm, rational, reasoned debate.
You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson--the ballplayer, serviceman, or human--without acknowledging our country's history of racial discrimination.
From @AroundtheHorn:
im actually a normal person who does not, even for a second, think about my pilot's skin color at all. because if my pilot was not qualified to fly, they wouldn't be in the fucking cockpit
If a Democrat fired 100 FAA employees and put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers 8 days before an airport plane crash, there would be a right-wing and media frenzy for weeks.
Dear Every Single Trump Supporter,
Donald Trump didn’t even HAVE a transition in 2020. He didn’t participate AT ALL in a peaceful transfer of power. He refused to accept his election loss. And bcuz you said you’re ok with all of that, you’ve forfeited any right to whine or complain about anything Democrats do or don’t do in the transition. Sorry about that.
Sincerely,
A Fellow American
MAGA,
As of today:
- Inflation 2.1%
- Unemployment is 4%
- GDP is 3%
- Manufacturing is booming, and only getting better.
The economic boom you're about to credit to Trump was brought to you by Joe Biden. And when it crashes, that will 100% be on Trump.
So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere.
And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time.
When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime.
What then?
Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden?
You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy.
You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military.
You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda.
You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy.
You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy.
You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for.
You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming.
You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation.
You just made women less safe and less free.
You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now.
You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket!
You just ushered in Fascism.
Because your cereal costs more.
Congratulations.
